BAGD and I have been talking about whether or not Giggles is a candidate for early Kindergarten. She doesn’t turn 5 until October 2012, so she is not eligible to start school until August 2013. But she is so bright and articulate that we feel like she could handle it. I asked her Preschool teacher [...]

We got a letter in the mail the other day. A letter that isn’t going to make Geetle very happy at all. Geetle has been selected to take the placement test for the School Within A School Gifted Program. And she is not going to be happy about it. Because she is a smart girl, [...]

I got glimpse today of how Pookie and Geetle are different, how they will probably always be different. Pookie was getting himself an after-school snack and grabbed a new gallon of milk from the fridge.
